    "Solid, High-Quality Picture"

    by tmschafer on June 29, 2008

    Pros: Stunning color and contrast; lots of adjustability, connection options, good value.

    Cons: Not the smoothest text rendering, may require some calibration

    Summary: Overall, this is an excellent monitor?the image quality is great, excellent motion-response for video and games, minimal if any ghosting, and lots of picture adjustments. The connection options are very nice if you plan to connect multiple devices, although I personally haven't used any of them, so I can't speak to any limitations or caveats.

    I also use an Apple display of the same size (which is twice the price, due largely to the aluminum enclosure), and this Dell preforms better in almost every way. The one thing I really like about the apple display is that it's text display is quite a bit smoother. I'm on a mac where high-quality text anti-aliasing is standard, so that's a tiny bit disappointing. Still, probably the only reason I notice it is because the Apple does it slightly better. Also, the Dell is slightly slower waking from standby. In most other ways the Dell is superior (adjustability, color, contrast).

    I'm very happy with the Dell and I've had no dead pixels or other problems of any kind.
